Musings From A Musical Mind

Another great production put away and remembered by pictures – snapshots of people – frozen moments in time.

This was my favorite. I am overwhelmed with emotions and nostalgia – being a part of this great event. Knowing this cast was one of a kind – that these eighth graders are moving on – and it will be different next year – special in its own way – but never the same.

If you had the priviledge to see this production – you will know what I’m talking about when I say the word ‘chemistry’ with the cast – the teachers and the wonderful parents and volunteers behind the scenes – all working together to make sure it all came together and that it was AMAZING. It was.

I am so grateful for this opportunity to be a part of something bigger than myself and feel that everyone should have a ‘moment’ like this at least once in their lifetime. I’ve had several. My great love for these students is why they always come back into my life – even when they go their seperate ways for a season – and it is always like a reunion when they come back to see me. Many of them are still in my life today – even after years of being with them. Theater students, former choir students, and my private piano and voice students. They are all special and each one unique.

What is the secret to happiness? Find something that you are passionate about – and do it. Invest in others. Love them with all of your heart. Embrace each moment. And watch it come back to you. It will. I promise ♥

Thanks Ron! It totally made my weekend to have you and your family make the long trip to come and see it! We had a perfect cast and it was a pleasure to work with them. The little spoons were adorable!
